Amazon.comWith their trademark of a fierce and determined bee carrying hammer in one hand and a Tommy gun in the other, no other branch of the U.S. Navy has served in more theatres of war or tackled more challenging missions than the Seabees. Admiral Ernest J. King, Chief of Naval Operations during World War II, said: "Seabee ingenuity and fortitude have become a legend in the naval service." Indeed it has. The Seabees are the U.S. Navy's construction battalions. From the sweltering jungles of Guadalcanal, to the arid deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, they've upheld their proud tradition as fighters who build and builders who fight. In this riveting episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," we pay tribute to the often-overlooked men and women of the Navy's fighting Seabees. You'll meet Joseph Shawinsky of the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion who landed beside the Marines on Iwo Jima and lived to tell the story. You'll also hear from two members of Vietnam-era Seabee Team 1104--Johnny McCully and Frank Peterlin--who served with Marvin Shields, the first and only Seabee to have received the Congressional Medal of Honor. And go along for a day in the life of the new generation of Seabees at Ft. Hunter Liggett, California...you'll see how these warrior builders are being trained today for the global War on Terror.

Amazon.comTheir Marine Corps designation was VMF-214, but for millions of people around the world, they will always be remembered by the name they gave themselves: the "Black Sheep Squadron." Though they fought together for just 12 short weeks under the command of Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, the Black Sheep became the most famous fighter squadron in American aviation history. "Baa Baa Black Sheep," a television show loosely based on their exploits, portrayed them as rebels and misfits but as you will see, their real story shatters the televised myths and boasts an ending that rivals any Hollywood script. In this unforgettable episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll take off with five of the original Black Sheep as their F4-U Corsairs roar into battle against the legendary Japanese Zero. In two combat tours they'd lose 20 per cent of their fellow pilots but before they were disbanded in March of 1944, the 51 men of the Black Sheep were credited with an incredible 94 enemy kills. Was "Pappy Boyington" the two-fisted drinker he was portrayed to be? What really happened to him on his fateful final mission? From blistering dogfights over the South Pacific to bar room brawls on the ground, this is the real story of the Black Sheep Squadron from the men who were there.

Amazon.comOn April 18th, 1942, barely four months after Americans were rocked by the news of the Pearl Harbor attack, 16 specially modified B-25 bombers flew into history. The mission? Surprise the enemy and bomb downtown Tokyo and four other Japanese cities. Manning these planes were 80 volunteers from the Army Air Corps, and what they set out to accomplish looked like a suicide mission. The daring pilots flew the ten-ton bombers off the deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Hornet, and took the enemy completely by surprise. This was a feat that no one had ever tried before, and something the Japanese never saw coming. They were known as the Doolittle Raiders, named for their leader, the aviation pioneer, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle. Hollywood has often told the story of these brave men, but in this episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll hear the real story from the men themselves, in their own words. These are the men who restored the confidence of a shaken nation and changed the course of World War II. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Amazon.comThe Liberator. The B-24. A revolutionary plane built for the worst of times. It's design meant it could take more bombs further. The planes and their crews braved the lead-filled skies from North Africa to the Pacific island of Iwo Jima and everywhere in between. During World War II they dropped over 1.2 billion pounds of bombs and shot down thousands of enemy aircraft. But, despite their amazing record and even greater capabilities, they are much less glorified or well -know than their counterpart, the B-17 Flying Fortress. In this fascinating episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll meet the three surviving members of Hot Shot Charlie's crew. On one terrifying mission German flak flipped their Liberator upside down and sent it hurtling toward the ground. You'll also join Richard Butler and Robert Sternfels on the devastating first raid against the Ploesti oil fields, which were fueling the Nazi war machine. And Robert Will remembers the design quirks that earned B-24s a rather unflattering nickname. This inspiring episode will also take you back to the homefront and inside the massive Ford plant at Willow Run. "Rosie the Riveter" Bette Torres fondly remembers toiling away in the factory that built up to 500 Liberators in a single month. "Liberators: B-24 Bomber Boys" pays tribute to the men and women who flew and built these amazing machines. Without them victory during World War II would have been delayed and, perhaps, not possible. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Amazon.comThe Battle of the Huertgen Forest is one of the most controversial and overlooked chapters of America's history during World War II. Historians argue that U.S. commanders miscalculated the fierce German resistance under Hitler's "Fireman," General Walter Model, and failed to identify key objectives in the campaign. Some believe it was just a great German victory while others say the battle should never have been fought. By late 1944, American troops had fought their way from the beaches of Normandy to the German border. General Dwight Eisenhower and General Omar Bradley ordered 1st Army Commander General Courtney Hodges to strike deep into the heart of Hitler's war machine - the Ruhr River industrial valley. But between those German factories and U.S. troops lies the 70-square-mile piece of land known as the Huertgen Forest. In this dark and foreboding forest - some of Germany's most rugged country - American and Nazi forces were bogged down for months in a ghastly war of attrition. As autumn turned into winter, temperatures plunged below zero and snow covered the ground. And for the soldiers who fought there, the terrain was as much an enemy as the opposing army. Called "the meat grinder," for every yard gained, this was America's costliest campaign in the European Theater during WWII. You'll learn of the great sacrifice and perseverance of the men who fought through the hell in the Huertgen Forest. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

amazon.comIn World War II, the U.S. Merchant Marine played a crucial role in every theater of war. Without them, without the bridge of merchant ships delivering weapons, troops, food, ammo, and fuel from the home front to the battle lines, there would have been no Allied victory. While transiting the ocean, the United States Merchant Marine had to contend with German U-boats, dive-bombers, surface raiders, auxiliary raiders, and mines. When World War II ended in 1945, nearly 80 thousand Allied mariners and 5,000 ships lay at the bottom of the sea. They paid in blood for the right to be called veterans--but it took them over 40 years to be recognized. In this poignant episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll hear first hand accounts from mariners like Frank Trubisz, whose tanker was torpedoed right off the coast of Georgia. Meet George Duffy and Stanley Willner who managed to survive a blistering attack on the high seas, only to be captured by the Germans, and eventually enslaved by the Japanese. You'll also meet Pete Petersen, a member of Hitler's elite Unterseebootwaffe, who will give you a tour of a captured German U-boat. This is the story of the United States Merchant Marine."

amazon.comIn July of 1941, a small group of Americans, all of them volunteers, gathered at a tiny airfield in Tuskegee, Alabama. Their goal? Build a special fighter unit for the U.S. Army Air Corps. It was not the planes they flew or the weapons they employed that made them unique. It was the color of their skin. In the 1940's our military, like our country, was segregated. And many inside Washington power circles believed black men didn't have the courage or the skill to fly combat aircraft. Forced to train and serve in a segregated unit, the Tuskegee Airmen would have to prove them wrong. They overcame racism at home and abroad and by the end of World War II, these pilots earned military respect for their air prowess. Nicknamed "Red Tails" for the color painted on their aircraft, over 1,000 black aviators and thousands of mechanics and technicians were trained at Tuskegee. The Red Tails flew over 15,000 combat missions and destroyed over 250 enemy planes. But perhaps their most impressive accomplishment didn't involve destruction or death. They saved lives. During Allied escort missions over Europe, these men never lost a bomber to the enemy. In this inspiring episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll hear how Chief Alfred Anderson flew Eleanor Roosevelt and earned the First Lady's respect. And, Lee Archer explains the controversy surrounding his shot at becoming the first black ace."

Amazon.comThe Battle of Leyte Gulf in October, 1944, was a desperate gamble by the Japanese navy to stop in its tracks America's march straight towards Tokyo. It also marked the moment when the attack on Pearl Harbor was truly avenged, as some of the ships resurrected from the bottom of Pearl Harbor took on the Japanese fleet with some devastating results. In this exciting episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll meet some of the men who landed with General Douglas MacArthur on the beaches at Leyte, and engaged in brutal jungle fighting with crack Japanese troops. You'll also meet some of the sailors who, when faced with unbelievable odds and the biggest and best of the Japanese navy, didn't turn and run. Instead they headed straight for what the rules of modern warfare spelled as certain defeat. Legendary Admiral James Holloway talks about wreaking havoc on part of the Japanese fleet at Suriago Strait, using a textbook maneuver taught at every naval school. And you'll find out if the man in charge of the Third Fleet, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey, really did fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book. The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the last great naval battle of World War II, and laid to waste the once invincible Japanese navy. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Amazon.comSay "D-Day" and most people will think of the Normandy invasion in June of 1944. But, many remarkable amphibious landings played out during World War II. As "Operation Overlord" unfolded in Europe, another massive armada was underway. "Operation Forager" stood ready to storm the beaches of the Mariana Islands. Thirty-seven hundred miles from Hawaii, the Mariana Islands were the main Pacific outpost for the Japanese Empire. Fiercely defended by over 70,000 troops, the airfields on Saipan, Guam and Tinian were "must have" pieces of real estate. If taken, swarms of massive four-engine B-29 bombers would be able to devastate mainland Japan and stop the war machine in its tracks. On these tiny islands, the 100,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines faced a determined enemy. The Japanese defenders had been given a simple order: absolutely no surrender. Our victory would come at a very high price. This chilling episode of "War Stories with Oliver North" brings you onto the "White Sands of Hell." You'll face an enemy 4,000 strong in a "banzai" charge. You'll hear the actual recording of Marines hitting the beach. And you'll witness how thousands of Japanese civilians took their own lives at "Suicide Gulch." From the "Great Mariana's Turkey Shoot", you'll meet legendary Navy ace pilot Alex Vraciu and listen as he recounts shooting down six Japanese bombers in less than eight minutes.

Amazon.comThe December 7, 1941 sneak attack on Pearl Harbor galvanized America like never before. Millions of men would fight a three-front war against the Nazis in Europe, the Japanese in the Pacific and in the China-Burma-India Theater. As the men left home, so did the women. Some six million women also answered the call to serve their country during World War II. Secretary of War Henry Stimson called them, "the largest and potentially finest single source of labor available." They were pilots, spies, soldiers, sailors, riveters, welders, and even Marines. One of the greatest compliments paid to this new workforce came from none other than Albert Speer, who was once head of Nazi Germany's war production. Years after VE Day he said, "You were wise to bring your women into your military and labor force. Had we done that, as you did, it could well have affected the whole course of the war." In this special edition of "War Stories with Oliver North," you'll meet women who served in every branch of our military. You'll also learn how life on the home front changed for two sisters who worked at the Kaiser Shipyard in Richmond, California, a woman who worked in an airplane factory, and even a female baseball player. This is the story of the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters who helped change the course of history during World War II. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
